[Leica] Design the ideal ER case

[Craig Schroeder <craig@craigschroeder.com>]

I live in a rural setting and have an acquaintance who does custom 
saddlery building.  He started out doing hunting knife form-fitted 
sheaths (friction fit) and then custom holster work for law enforcement 
applications.  His work is top quality and he is an obsessive craftsman. 
 I believe he's at the point of needing to expand operations and may be 
able to add some staple, production items to his offerings to 
rationalize employees, etc.

If you could start from scratch, what attributes would you wish for in 
an eveready case for an M series?  What liner materials?  Any known 
leather treatment chemistry to avoid for long term exposure to any of 
the Leica surface finishes?  Hardware location points for function or 
ideal balance?  Any specific Leica quirks or additions (ie, a covered 
clip to hold the back during film changing while standing, etc).  Let 
your creativity flow please.....
